The darkest of magic will take over Parr Hall next month as a smash-hit stage show moves into town.

Blood-curdling comedy and dare-devil circus acts will take centre stage in February as rock ‘n’ roll spectacular The Circus of Horrors returns to Warrington.

The global phenomenon that is The Circus of Horrors needs no introduction.

From storming its way to the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2011 to drawing in crowds all over the world, this spectacular show has become the ring leader of all circus acts.

But – for those of you who haven’t seen it – imagine if Quentin Tarantino had directed Cirque du Soleil: you’d only be halfway there.

Now, this unholy team of sword swallowers, crossbow and knife-throwing vixens, flaming hula-hooping divas, whirlwind acrobats and twisted contortionists are back in town with a brand new show.

This tour presents an amazing amalgamation of bizarre and daring circus acts, driven by a rock ‘n’ roll soundscape to create a spine-tingling show that will have you on the edge of your seat – when you’re not falling off it with laughter.

Described by The Independent as “bloodthirsty and burlesque”, this hair-raising show is guaranteed to amaze.

Whether you’re a metal head or a traditional theatre-goer, this is a show that simply cannot be missed.
